Listen no matter how good you are at SEO or any other service you provide to help businesses succeed your bank account doesn't grow until you close te deal.

Now awhile back I was looking for a SEO professional myself and put a local ad out for one, and the sales pitches I got from these guys we're so bad that I knew they we're losing 90% of the potential deals they could be closing and I'm sure the same holds true with most of you here ( most not all)

Now don't get defensive about it because I'm sure most if you know it's true. When's the last time you closed the first time you talked to a prospect? When's the last time a company undercut you on price and got the deal. When's the last time you herd "it's to expensive" or your prospect was just simply confused about how there gonna make money from you. The reality is if your not closing the majority of prospects your talking to something is seriously wrong.

I don't do SEO myself however my company sells for a large seo firm and without even knowing much about seo we close a tremendous amount of deals and your the expert so you should be too! So let's talk seo sales.

What's the biggest problem your having when selling your services?

Are you cold calling to close deals? If not why???

Hopefully I can help out anyone struggling to take there business to the next level. And if your not at 7 figures a year, yes your struggling.

Now it's ok you guys can ignore this thread and continue asking questions like " what's a backlink?" And other ridiculous questions that a simple google search will answer however your not gonna make any real money with seo until you have the building blocks witch is a strong sales pitch and you won't find that on google.

          Why wouldn't you be thinking about how to increase that? Have you reached your life time goal and don't want to close at any higher percentage?

            Look brah, sometimes you've just got to know your limits. It wasn't easy for me to accept that my ability had topped out! Do you know what it's like to look in the mirror and see the reflection of a 60% closer looking back at you? DO YOU?

    So you're goal is to convince India they can get more $5 sales? That's who you're talking about because those are the people creating bogus forum threads (what's a backlink?).

    I think fiverr already has the 3rd world market covered.

    Carry on with your WSO...
